I wanted to sing about things that moved me and experiences I had collected throughout life.
I don't like being dependent on other people.
I would bake for my grandma because she has never had anything I've baked.
I like eating yummy things.
When I was younger, I always wanted to be either a pianist or a classical singer, and when I discovered songwriting, it was like a new portal had been opened.
I don't think I ever had a certain image of what touring was like... I think when you're young, you think it's very glamourous, but it's not.
I'm putting out music that I love, and they're basically just stories of my life and how I try and teach myself to think about things. They're kind of like notes to self, basically.
I get mad about something, and then I have this melody in my head, and then afterwards, the lyrics come.
I'm not going to release something just because they think it's the next hit. It's not what everyone wants to hear, but that's the way it is.
I'm definitely sleep deprived - it is so hard to sleep on a tour bus! It moves around so much, and we have really weird time schedules.
You don't really learn how to write songs; you learn to develop as a writer, and you get to meet lots of musicians and figure out what kind of sound you want. You have the time to just develop and try different styles, and that's what I did.
